The viewpoint of the lumberman, the forester, and the public on reforestation differs widely, or reforestation problems would be nearer solution. In addition to being as interested as any citizens in the general welfare, lumbermen want to perpetuate their industry and land values. Probably they are no more nor less individually selfish. Their first concern is to stay solvent, furnishing every one lumber at a price that all can afford to pay. They have no inclination or ability to grow future forests at a loss for a public apparently unwilling to share the cost or even to provide encouraging fire and tax conditions. Experience makes them skeptical of public co-operation; tradition confined to conversion and marketing, not production, gives them no independent assurance.
